Transaction Science 8ca94fd049 l3-jouleclaw: meter each engine on its own process, graded by coverage
The run binary bracketed the inference with host_counter() reads: on macOS 27
the load-average estimator, so an in-process Metal decode and a llama.cpp
subprocess were both estimated from host load, although this host reads both
engines' own processes.

The in-process engine (jouleclaw-runtime, Metal kernels) is now metered by
ProcessSpanMeter(gpu_liveness_load) with SpanUses::CpuGpu: this process's CPU
plus its GPU (an exact zero with no GPU time, the rail when it owned the GPU).
The llama engine's subprocess runs behind a gate (sh waits, then execs
"$0" "$@") and is read on its own process tree by TreeMeter, waited for with
WNOWAIT before the reap (LlamaCompletionBackend::complete_metered). grade() is
the one place the receipt's energy is decided, mesh ProcessMeter's rule: a
reading that covers the whole inference keeps its grade; a partial one (GPU
shared, or a child that exited in its window, or undeclared) is an Estimator,
the reading plus the host counter's figure or the token estimate; no reading
leaves that rest as it was. The receipt has no coverage field, so a partial
reading is never sealed HwShunt.

Tested against oracles sharing no code: this process's own ri_energy_nj read
around a CPU burn (span 0.985 of it, GPU an exact zero, Whole, HwShunt), and
a stand-in llama (this test binary) reporting its own count from inside
(reading 0.998 of it, Estimator). The example workspace builds standalone.
